Ultrasound-Guided Injections in San Jose
Ultrasound is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time and dynamic images of the body.
For sports injuries and other joint conditions, injections of steroid, hylauronic acid, and platelet-rich plasma can relieve pain and help you regain your range of movement.
At Skyline Sports Medicine we offer ultrasound-guided injections for your joint conditions and sports injuries.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and What Are PRP Injections?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.
PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces. Ultrasound imaging is sometimes used to guide the injection.
